Green Il Co S report on cotton futures says:
1.-The entire market has been grand scare over
June. So far as could be learned, nothing of a
decisive character has been done since yeSter-
day, but shorts in all directions appeared to
have suddenly made up their minds that next
month was in danger, and amid much excite
ment there was rush TO cover. The demand
represented Liverpool New Orleans, local and
Western operators and the entire move ap-
peared very perpleXlng to the general trade
especially as other old crop months made only
points response. Indeed, about the only posi-
tive showing is that June shorts have been sub
jected TO a severe squeeze"

CHICAGO, May 5-Wheat opened strong and
| bullish, but was about the only thing that
| showed any particular frmnesS. June opened
at S45Ec and sold up to S53sc within Is minutes.
June corn opened at 401sc and eased back to
! 1890. During the morning, when kershaw was
| quite an active buyer, large number of shorts
came in and helped the bulge along by buying.
! The bull element, which is now clearly in the
majority, have until recently been talking 81 Is
| for wheat some time in the future; at least as
| near as on the present crop. To-day 1t was
| given out that they had thrown off SC, making
| the price as even 81 10. One of them was asked
what he expected would make these prices. The
reply was: Legitimate demand from export
| erS, purchases for investment and general do
nestle use; that Is, milling interests. There
| will also be times when shorts will want it, as
| they did to-day" Outsiders, it is believed. are
| responsible in part for the present hrmneSS or
| rather strength now prevailing, which is in sym
| pathy with the tone existing in other markets
| Duluth, for instance, made an advance OF ia
| since yesterday ClearanceS at seaboard ports
| yesterday were not quite up to expectation, but
| the export demand is good. After selling at
85L6c June declined to Sc later recovered to the
former figures and went off again on heavy local
selling rallied to 851bc and closed at the outside
Corn was moderately active with a weak feeling
early, but afterward ruled steady. 1t was
rumored early that Western roads were going
to reduce rates, and this created general de-
sire to sell. AS the report was not confirmed,
the feeling was steady. Oats ruled easier Mess
pork was nominGly unchanged. Lard was
stronger early, but gradually settled back and
closed about the same as yesterday. Short ribs
closed little higher.
